SSR

When you hear about people who come back from the front lines, they usually have PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). For some people though, they don't have it, the biggest fear that they have outside of combat is adjusting back to civilian life. If you read the blog Reclaiming Fatherhood After Afghanistan found at http://atwar.blogs.nytimes.com/ you can see that it is a hard thing to do, readjust back to civilian life after being gone for several months at a time before you can see your family again. People just think it's so easy to return to civilian life after seeing combat, it's not. You don't trust your family, friends, etc like you used to. You have to be able to regain everyone you knows' trust back. It's a big deal. It's just something people need to take into factor when their loved ones come home from combat and they don't have PTSD and they don't feel like talking to you as much.
